Pre-college summer programs
COVID-19 update
In response to COVID-19, in-person summer camps through July 10 have been suspended. It is possible, however, that some of the programs listed below will make content available through digital means. The College of LAS is working with units and will update this page as that information becomes available.
Get a jump-start on college life and all it entails — sign up for one of our summer programs. These will give you a taste of the incredible variety and opportunity open to you on the Illinois campus. These camps are meant for students ranging from age 9 through high school.
